It is with great sadness that we received the news of the passing of the Dean of Iraqi Diplomacy, Dr. Muhammad al-Haj Hammoud, who passed away at the age of 88 in Baghdad.
The deceased held several positions in the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs during the past forty years, and also left an important legacy of knowledge in the field of diplomacy and international law.
We extend our sincere condolences and sympathy to the family of the deceased, and we ask God to cover him with His vast mercy, and to inspire his family, relatives, and students patience and solace. We belong to God and to Him we shall return.
